Transcript
- 0:00We got a question for our American mama. Dear mamma, why does Hollywood
- 0:04want men to be more feminine and for women to be more masculine? Well,
- 0:07let's ask our American mama, mama, and joining us now our American
- 0:23Mama, Terry Netterville. There was an interview with Evangeline Lily, who plays
- 0:28the Wasp in ant Man in the Wasp part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- 0:32Right. Um, the movie didn't do great at the box office, but
- 0:35I don't think it's her fault anyway. She's doing this interview and she says,
- 0:40look, in Hollywood, we celebrate men by making them less masculine,
- 0:46and then we celebrate women who not not the women who are doing the feminine
- 0:52roles. We celebrate the women who go off and do masculine and they get
- 0:56into fights and they're kicking people, and they're jumping around and they're an agree
- 1:00and they're cursing. We celebrate the masculinization of women and the feminization of men,
- 1:06and we shouldn't be doing that. I'm with her for a Hollywood elite
- 1:10to stand up for this well, and for someone who's been making a lot
- 1:12of money. Yeah, being more masking a very pretty lady, very feminine
- 1:18lady, and they put her in armor and have her go punch aliens.
- 1:21Yeah, exactly. She was also in Lost. I like her so much,
- 1:25but I thought people usually don't speak out about this because they're so afraid
- 1:27of being canceled. You know, we live in a canceled world. But
- 1:30you know, um on that same front, when you just said that,
- 1:33it made me think back in the day fifties, sixties, you know,
- 1:37when Father's Nose Best and all of those shows, the men were the strong
- 1:42male of the house. Yes, they were the you know, they were
- 1:46the head of the house, right, and the women were kind of the
- 1:49neck. They helped turn the heads of them in, but they were the
- 1:51head that they were the strong, powerful presence in the house. Ward Clever,
- 1:55yes, and you know June Clever, Yes was the mom. She
- 1:57she obviously she ob you ran the house, but he was the head of
- 2:00the house. That's right. Right. Then you kind of go through the
- 2:02seventies, eighties, nineties you had the archie Bunkers and but now that we're
- 2:07saying this, I'm thinking about like Raymond Romano, he was kind of made
- 2:10out the men all of a sudden, the dads began, uh seeming stupid
- 2:15or not. You know, they were kind of funny, but they weren't
- 2:17as smart or clever. They kind of bowed down to the mom. Right,
- 2:22Well, it's the Homer Simpson of dads. Yes, yes, became
- 2:27Homer Simpson. Yes, they weren't as intelligent, yes exactly, And so
- 2:31it made me, it makes me think now it was that part of the
- 2:37process of kind of dumbing down the dad, making them less important. And
- 2:40I mean there's so many other I can't think right now, but there's so
- 2:44many other TV shows where the dad was kind of like the lesser of the
- 2:47two because they weren't like the toolman. Yes, you know, she was
- 2:52the strong one and he would even though he was like a man. She
- 2:55kind of was the one that pulls the strange. Yes, So when she
- 2:59said, you know, Evangeline Lily said, she said, she says,
- 3:02why don't we feel like, why do we feel the need to vilify a
- 3:05man wearing the s kicker boots, driving a pickup truck, who's not afraid
- 3:08to punch someone in the face. But if they were a woman, they
- 3:12would be the epitome of cool, right, it's so true and I never
- 3:15thought about it. Like, there's a show on Netflix right now with Jennifer
- 3:17Lopez it's called The Mother, and she comes out and she's this strong.
- 3:22It's kind of like an she goes into this witness protection program and to save
- 3:27her little girl that will never know her until she's like a teenager. Um,
- 3:31she does all of these I would say strong. I mean I loved
- 3:35her. You know, she was you as a mother, will do anything
- 3:37for your child. Now that we're talking about this, I'm like they did
- 3:39have her as kind of that male that would just you know, not only
- 3:44throat punch, but just you know, slice the man and a half and
- 3:47kill these people if they even looked at her wrong. But we are coming
- 3:52to this place where that is celebrated and the women, Yes, exactly,
- 3:57it's non celebrated. The exact same thing. It's called toxic masculinity. Chris
- 4:01Pratt had a series, I believe it was on Amazon where he was you
- 4:06know, military guy comes back and he's trying to solve this mystery about what
- 4:10happened to his troops over and overseas, right, and it turns out the
- 4:13government was against him and so He's all braven, macho and avenging his family
- 4:16in all this, and people are like, oh, look at that,
- 4:18that's toxic masculinity. My god. But but if Jennifer Lopez was doing the
- 4:23exact same thing, they'd be like, oh, look how brave, and
- 4:25yeah, look how strong. Let's price her. I will tell you this
- 4:29that the whole, this whole scam, this whole toxic masculinity scam, is
- 4:32it was invented by the far left. We want our men to be the
- 4:36men we love masculinity. I don't want a soft man for my husband.
- 4:42That's like that. I feel like I have to defend. I want to
- 4:45feel safe under my husband's care when he's around. When Kevin is around,
- 4:48no, I know, nobody will touch me. You know, there's a
- 4:51It was an interesting statement from Jordan Peterson that I heard recently, and he
- 4:57said, if you really want to be virtuous, you need to be able
- 5:02to cause harm. If as a man, you do not have the ability
- 5:06to harm someone else, then your restraint is not restraint, it's weakness,
- 5:12right. Your restraint is only strength when you actually have strength to do harm.
- 5:17And that is why we like I like having President Trump as our President.
- 5:24He is unafraid. He doesn't care what people think. I feel safe
- 5:27under his watch. I feel like nobody can touch us because he proved that
- 5:31to be true. And yet Joe Biden shows so his weakness. It's very
- 5:39scary and we see what's happening. We none of us still safe in this
- 5:42world right now. If you like to ask our American Mama a question,
